Interesting subject, but it seems very soft looking with a lot of high ISO noise visible in the ceiling. Shooting at the lowest available ISO and using a tripod could probably get around that issue.

I like Yale. They make great locks.

This strikes me as the perspective of an armadillo getting ready to cross.

I like the subject, but the framing and composition comes off to me somewhat awkward. Just one of those personal preference things, and not necessarily a flaw.

Congrats on achieving the (arguably) coveted brown ribbon on your first challenge. (I am quite proud of mine!) No place to go but up from here!

Making Breakfast

Ow. Well, I'll admit to being part of the beating you got. I gave it a 4, which is my vote for a good effort that shows some knowledge and effort but still falls short in a major way. The lighting was the biggest problem for this, I think. I also think the shallow DOF was too shallow, and the angle didn't quite suite the composition. Hope that helps.

I gave it a 6, as something that was good, but didn't wow me. I do think some of the comments make good suggestions about what changes could improve this.

Hey, at least you did something original with a wine glass! You should get extra points for that!

#2 on your profile page, nice going! I suspect you'll be rotating that profile page some more in the near future.

Good to see that one of my own faves placed highly. I think this was my only 10 for this challenge. (BTW, if you get a Grog comment, I've given at least a 7.)
